Is free speech dead?

Today I am going to share a story that might be kind of disturbing to you guys. It was disturbing for me the first time I heard it. But I think the story has an important message that we need to spread and raise awareness about.

In September 2007, young mother Krista Stryland went in for a liposuction procedure at the Toronto Cosmetic Clinc. She would never return. Turns out, the "surgeon" that performed the procedure on her, was not a surgeon at all. The doctor had no surgical experience, no surgical accreditation. She removed too much fat and fluid from Krista, way more than what is allowed. And, after the procedure, she only spent 30 seconds evaluation Krista's condition before going ahead and moving on to another patient.

Dr. Behnaz Yazdanfar has been stripped of her licence to practise medicine for two years and indefinitely banned from performing surgery on her own following the 2007 death of Krista Stryland

At her hearing, it was noted:

"“She operated on patients who should have had their procedures done in hospital,” the ruling noted. “She did larger operations than she should have done. She discharged patients inappropriately. These errors in judgment spanned her practice and were not isolated events.”

What happened to Krista? She died. What happened to Krista's little boy? He has no mommy. What happened to the doctor? Umm. She was stripped of her medical license for two years. She can apply for her license to be reinstated after a year, and even then, she can still be a surgical assistant.

Ridiculous.

So, when Krista's friends and families tried to spread the word to warn others about this doctor's actions... Allegedly, the doctor's office revenue plummeted... So what was the doctor's office to do?? They hired someone to HACK sites like Ripoff Report to remove these reports and silence victim's families. I find this to be horrible!

I can't believe that this site and this man would consciously remove the reports that were warning others about this!

I find this very disturbing and I wanted to share this story with others so that you can be informed about this type of hacking and that it does in fact, exist.

Have you ever heard of something like this? Please share in the comments if you have.
